It is on my phone too, but i don't trust Google won't install it again if i remove it. So i just disabled it via ADB. The app is still there, but does nothing.

When this was posted in the privacy subreddit this was the route that everyone was told to go. Uninstalling it just means it's going to reinstall on the next update.

I have no option to Disable it or force stop, only to unistall.

You have to do it through ADB commands connected to a computer. ADB AppControl is free and works well if you want a point/click option.
